Abstract:

"New appreciation grows for this old Southern green." North Carolina is the third largest producer of collards in the nation behind South Carolina and Georgia. Collards can be grown from seeds or as transplants. In recent years, production of collards as a specialty crop has more than doubled. Featured in this article are Jeff and Lisa Bender of Bender Farms Inc. in Norlina.
